Team meetings are a simple but often overlooked part of sharing leadership. Many leaders that have team meetings fail to structure them in a way that empowers team members. Instead of being a positive and constructive experience, the team meeting becomes a negative and unconstructive time.<\/p>\n
Follow these tips to lead effective meetings:<\/p>\n
1. Meet regularly (at least once a month).<\/p>\n
2. Pick a consistent meeting time that works for everyone.<\/p>\n
3. Before each meeting, email or snail mail the agenda to team members.<\/p>\n
4. Provide time for\u00a0people to share personal updates and prayer requests.<\/p>\n
5. Encourage feedback and discussion about programs, events, and ideas.<\/p>\n
6. Involve members in planning, problem-solving, making suggestions, and delegating ministry.<\/p>\n
7. Put the most important item in the middle, and know what you can cut out if the meeting runs long.<\/p>\n
8. Keep meetings under two hours unless serving food!<\/p>\n
9. Consider a separate planning meeting for calendar or specific event plans.<\/p>\n
10. Send out a meeting review of action items to all members of the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
